Trivia[]
- This effect does not affect effects with no magnitude, such as Silence or Paralyze. This effect's magnitude directly corresponds to a percent increase in the magnitude of subsequent spells (e.g. ten points equals +10%).
- There is a one-second delay after casting a weakness effect before it is active. Therefore, if using a spell that simultaneously casts both weakness and damage effects, the weakness component will not be applied the first time it is cast.
Affected effects[]
The following effects are subject to Weakness to Magicka.
Resistance[]
Weakness to Magicka and Resist Magicka are opposites, but equal. If they are present with the same magnitude, the two effects cancel (e.g. a person with ten points of resistance and ten points of weakness has no net effect). The magnitude of these effects can be subtracted from one another to determine a net magnitude. For example:
30 weakness - 10 resistance = net effect 20 weakness
40 resistance - 25 weakness = net effect 15 resistance
Unlike elemental weakness effects, Weakness to Magicka can not be used to break immunity (one-hundred points of Resist Magicka), because this effect is resisted by Resist Magicka.
